This is kinda huge for uploaders...
So one thing that's always stopped me from uploading more frequently is the time-consuming nature of it. To upload an image set of even just 10 pictures I would have to download all those images to my computer, make sure they're still in the correct order, then drag them from wherever they are on my computer onto the upload page.

I often wished I could simply drag an image from whatever gallery I found it in over to the upload page and simply upload it. Well I found a way to do this! No need to ever download the images to your computer with this method. Here's how to do it in a couple different browsers:

FIREFOX: Type "about:config" into the address bar. This will trigger a warning...just click "Accept the Risk and Continue". Copy/paste this "dom.events.dataTransfer.imageAsFile.enabled" into the search bar to find it. This preference is set to "false" by default. Double-click it to set it to "true" and that's it. You can now drag images from one page to the upload page just like you would from your computer. BTW this doesn't allow you to drag and drop videos, just images.

CHROME: Chrome is even easier actually. I put Firefox first simply because that's my browser of choice, but for Chrome you can just go here and install the Magic Drop extension: chromewebstore.google.com...dobacadohbfbpmhjomfjmbken

Now you can drag and drop images in Chrome! I've heard that this extension also allows you to drag and drop videos, but I didn't test that out so...test that out for yourselves I guess.

I will say using this methed you still have to open the largest-size version of an image...don't just try to drag over thumbnails from a gallery because I'm sure in that case you'd be uploading the thumbnail. What I've been doing is opening each image in a tab and then dragging them over from that tab, uploading, then going back and deleting that tab which then brings me to the next image. Rinse and repeat.

If you have any questions feel free to ask. I may be able to help.
